Since I had to get up at 4:00 a.m. this week I woke up at that time today, too, even though I could have slept in. The dogs also woke up early, and have been barking and carrying on ever since. I still have some work to do for the week, and had imagined that I would leap right in and get it finished so I'd have the day off after dawn, but so far I've just been roaming around the internet.I hardly ever do that. If I'm at the computer, I'm working. If I'm not working, then I don't want to be looking at a screen. But this morning I hung around the forums and read weird stuff about the filming of The Exorcist and have otherwise been wasting time. Any minute now I'll probably go look at sock patterns.
I finished the Silk Fountain cowl last night. It's very cozy. I'm seeing cowls like this in all the magazines now -- #2 daughter told me about them a year or so ago but she's always ahead of the curve. They seem like a nice alternative to scarves, should it ever get cold this year.
So yes, I'm going to get to work now. Later on, I plan to clean house, do the grocery shopping, bake, maybe sew. That sounds like fun, doesn't it?
